Blackpool's Pleasure Beach Resort has reopened for the 2025 season.

The Lancashire theme park, which closed at the end of November, has been carrying out 'extensive' winter maintenance on all of its rides and attractions in preparation for the new season.

Pleasure Beach will open for weekends in March, and then weekdays and weekends from April.

The Nickelodeon Land area of the park, aimed at families and 'mini thrillseekers', opened during February half term for the first time in more than 10 years.

Now, the 42-acre park will open for the year, and guests can look forward to riding the Big One, ICON and the award-winning Valhalla.

This year also marks the grand opening of Pleasure Beach’s re-imagined Launch Pad ride.

A 200-foot cylinder, which travelled more than a thousand miles across Europe before arriving at Pleasure Beach in Blackpool, is the 'key component' of the ride re-imagining and promises to 'completely transform the rider experience'.

Launch Pad has also received an aesthetic overhaul with new colours, branding and a space exploration theme.

CEO of Pleasure Beach Resort, Amanda Thompson OBE said: "We’re really excited about 2025 at Pleasure Beach.

"We’re ready for our park to be brought to life again for another season, and for all of our guests to make truly fantastic memories with us.

“We’ve added more Twilight Thrills, more High Adventure Experiences, and have some exciting announcements to come this year, so keep your eyes peeled and your ears open – we can’t wait to share!”
